4D v18

Overview

4D View Pro functions are used in formulas. Every 4D View Pro formula is an expression that returns a value. All expressions are comprised of operands and operators:

Operators: see Operators and values
Operands are divided into several categories:
- values,
- references to other cells (relatives, absolutes, mixed or by name),
- 4D variables, fields and functions,
- 4D methods (registered by VP SET ALLOWED METHODS),
- 4D View Pro functions.

To enter a formula:

Select the cell into which you will enter the formula or function.
Enter = (the equal sign).
Type in the formula then hit the Enter key

Note: You can also create named formulas that can be called via their name. In this case, the formula is entered using the VP ADD FORMULA NAME command.

A large number of functions are available in 4D View Pro. This section describes a subset of essential functions. The complete list of functions supported by 4D View Pro can be found in the Spreadsheets documentation.
